Just curious if anyone has seen any issues running a X2 with this board?

I am currently trying to decide between the X2 3800+ and the 3700+ San Diego. The 3700+ will run me around $320 Canadian, the X2 3800+ probably around $400-410 Canadian. The main differences I am seeing are the 3700+ has 1mb of l2 cache, where the X2 3800+ has 512kb l2cache per core. The...

and can you buy a connector that turns a molex connection into one of these?

Hey all.. My PSU only has a 20pin connector, the mobo I am getting is a 24pin connector. the mobo im waiting on is the biostar tforce6100/410 and i heard there were issues with using this motherboard without a "True" 24pin connector. I was just going to buy a 20pin to 24pin adapter, will i...

This is probably a dumb question, is there such thing as 20pin to 24pin adapter? I have a power supply that I wanted to use but the motherboard needs a 24pin.. the psu/case is proprietary so there isn't a way of changing it. What are my options?

Hi all, I have an antec aria that I am looking to upgrade to s939 as my old barton is just too slow nowadays. :) can anyone recommend some nice s939 boards? AGP or PCIE doesnt matter, preferably 4x ram slot and 2x sata connectors but just post anything you know of if possible... thank you!

What kind of idle and active temps are you getting on your barton cores? i just installed mine and its running idle at around 67 degress celsius, which is much much hotter than in my old case. for those of you not familiar with the aria, the cpu fan is about half covered by the PSU so...

Topic says it all. Shipping to Canada. aeroseph AT shaw DOT ca heatware: misadventure anyone have any?

http://www.geilusa.com/images%5CGd35.jpg the plasticy covers where the image is, how does that work? is it like a heatspreader at all? would putting heatspreaders on this ram benefit at all? would it be safe to even put heatspreaders on the ram with the plasticy stuff?

Which is better? I'm talking about the regular 6800(non ultra/non gt..the lowest of the 6800's) Thanks

If I make a post looking to buy something, do I have to post the price I am willing to pay.

Like, if you were to go from 170 x 11 up to 180 x 11, 190 x 11, 200 x 11, etc, on your cpu, would your temps really go up that much in idle/load? My understanding is that it only really increases when you start upping the vcore?

to display accurate temps etc. using an abit nf7s rev2

Ok, Kingston HyperX DDR 400, the 2x 256 packs are rated for 2-3-2-6 timings. The DDR 466 set is rated at 3-3-3-7 I believe. Why is the DDR 466 higher timings? Does it still really run faster? Are timings even that important :confused: T[H]anks guys..

I remember finding a little script that would change the max internet explorer downloads on windows xp to 50..the default is set at 2 for some stupid reason. Anyone have a link to a script similiar to this? Or easy instructions for doing the reg key change. Thanks :)

Topic says it all. Thanks.

I swear to god this sound card is frying any mic I put into it. I had an old headset that I used for a few days before the mic died. I bought a brand new pair of Audio 90's, they worked for about 3 days then died. Only the mic stops working. I've tested them on 2 other PC's and all I get is...

Is there a reason to not buy RAM OEM if it has a lifetime warranty? Or am I missing something.

Correct me if I'm wrong.. On an A7N8X-DLX board you can run 3 sticks in dual channel mode. You can have 2 x 256 in your 2 "dual channel" slots and 1 stick for 512 in the other single channel slot. The 2 x 256 will run in dual channel mode and the 1 stick of 512 will run in regular mode...

These are made by Visiontek correct? How well do they perform compared to other brands of the Ti 4600? Thinking about getting one until the new wave of 3d cards come out.
